Abstract
In Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs), vehicles exchange safety messages in order to enhance road safety. Because of their critical role, safety messages should be authenticated before being accepted while preserving the privacy of vehicles. However, misbehaving vehicles should be traced by legal authorities and evicted from the network. In this paper, we propose a new conditional privacy-preserving authentication scheme for VANETs. The proposed scheme is based on the use of temporary tickets to maintain the privacy of vehicles. An identity-based signature technique is employed for authentication. The trusted authority can trace misbehaving vehicles, given their tickets, and RSUs handle the task of evicting them from the network. An in-depth security analysis is performed to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposal.
